12, but Wolves are in first place tha

Canadas quest to defend gold at Sochi truly begins today with a quarterfinal matchup against Latvia. Listen to the game live on TSN Radio starting at 11:30am et/8:30am pt. And listen to Wayne Gretzky speak, as he joins the TSN Radio panel during the pre-game show. Canada will look for a fast start after three days off. The Latvians promise to play a similarly tight-checking style to Canadas last opponent, Finland, who was able to push their final preliminary round game to overtime before a Drew Doughty goal sealed a 2-1 victory. Doughty leads all Canadians in points with four goals and one assist through three games. He leads all defencemen in points at Sochi and trails just Phil Kessel, Michael Grabner and Alexander Radulov overall. Carey Price once again gets the start in net for Canada after stopping 14 of 15 shots against the Finns. His .943 save percentage is seventh among goalies that have made more than one start at the Olympics. Latvian netminder Edgars Masalskis has posted a .946 mark through three starts and has made more saves than any other Olympic goalie. Coach Mike Babcock once again rearranged his forward lines at practice on Tuesday hoping to ignite his forwards ahead of the playoff round. Pittsburgh Penguins teammates Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz have once again been reunited with Patrice Bergeron on the right side. Meanwhile, Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn has been placed alongside Anaheim Ducks duo Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry to form a menacing power forward trio. Martin St. Louis will dress for todays game after being a healthy scratch against Finland. He replaces Matt Duchene in the lineup and has been held off the score-sheet thus far in the tournament. "The reality is we dress 13 forwards each game," Babcock said. "One guy hardly gets on the ice. Its a hard, hard situation for people that play 22 minutes. Thats the way it is. Youve got to find a way to help out when you get a chance." P.K. Subban is also the odd men out. Dan Hamhuis will be the seventh defenceman, leaving Subban out of the lineup for the third time in four games. He played 11:41 minutes in Canadas 6-0 rout of Austria. "Hes a proud guy. And hes here and he doesnt get to dress," Babcock said of Subban. "Nobody is probably thrilled about that. Those are hard decisions that we make, and in the end theyve got to live it." "That doesnt mean theyve got to like it. But youre here to be a good pro and a good teammate and as its not about me and its not him, its about Canada. As long as we all remember that, were fine." Latvia went 0-3 in Group C in the preliminary round, scoring just five goals combined against the Czech Republic, Sweden and Switzerland. The upstart Latvians are guaranteed their best-ever Olympic finish after surprising Switzerland 3-1 in the qualification playoff round. Lauris Darzins led the way for Latvia, scoring a pair against Switzerland, including the game-winner and the empty-netter that sealed the victory. This is Latvias first ever trip to the Olympic quarter-finals, having been eliminated in the preliminary round in 2006 and losing in overtime to the Czech Republic in the 2010 qualification playoffs. Canada and Latvia have met on only one prior occasion at the Olympics, with the Canadians winning an 11-0 blowout at the 1936 Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Latvias best-ever result against Canada at the mens level came at the 1997 IIHF World Championships where they earned a 3-3 draw. Latvia boasts just one NHL player in Buffalo Sabres forward Zemgus Girgensons. However, a number of their players have NHL experience including Oskars Bartulis, Kaspars Daugavins among others. Their most experienced NHL veteran is captain Sandis Ozolinsh, who played 875 career games between 1992-93 and 2007-08. A seven-time NHL All-Star, Ozolinsh was a Norris Trophy finalist in 1996-97 and won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96. "I know Sandis Ozolinsh played for me and helped me get to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and hes their captain," Babcock said. "Theyre better as a sum than they are as parts."

Williams has missed the last eight matches with a back injury, but has recovered in time to take the field in Thursday nights game, and Warriors coach Shaun Wane believes the England international will make an immediate impact.Its great to have George back, its been frustrating for him and everyone but hes back now and good to go, said Wane. Hes had a good couple of weeks with us now. We know what we need to do and where we need to improve. Weve won a few games recently but not by many points so Im into the players about making our attack more crisp and having George back will help with that.The two sides are equal on competition points after each claiming nine wins from 12, but Wolves are in first place thanks to a much healthier points difference than their opponents. Theyve done well with injuries and have had the same team out a lot this year. Shaun Wane on Warrington Theyve got some very good players and theyre playing well, said Wane of Warrington.Theyve done well with injuries and have had the same team out a lot this year. Theyre playing a good brand of Rugby League so its got the makings of a great game. Tom Lineham returns to the Wolves squad Meanwhile Wolves have brought former Hull FC star Tom Lineham back into their side for the clash. Lineham featured in Warringtons opening 10 fixtures of the season, but was dropped after their defeat to Saints earlier in the month.The 23-year-old gets another chance with the clubs only other specialist winger Gene Ormsby still on loan at Huddersfield, while Jack Johnson is out after suffering a broken wrist against Widnes last Friday. Warrington registered a 48-16 victory at Widnes last weekend to snap a two-game losing streak Jack spent some time on the wing and at full-back and I thought he gave us a really competent and assured display, said Wolves assistant coach Richard Agar.ddddddddddddUnfortunately he picked up an injury to his scaphoid so hes going to be out a little while.Tommy went back and played for the reserves and then played for Rochdale last week to work on his game. He did everything asked of him so hes a ready-made replacement to come straight back into the side.
